50+ users and the future after SBS2000
After running SBS2000 from around 10 users (around 3 years ago) to it's
maximum today (at 50!) we are now in the position to get of SBS and go for
something that caters for more than 50 users.
We are planing to purchase two boxes -
1. to have on it Server 2003 Std with around 60 CALS that will be our PDC
running AD running ISA 2004 Server (with 60 CALs too) - do we need 60 CALS on
Win03 Server if we plan to have around 60 people (clients) on the network?
2. to have Exchange 2003 with 60 CALs(?) - is this correct?
We want to use the SBS applications - i.e Exchange and ISA as we also run
GFI's MSEC and DSEC and MESS to pick up our mail from POP3.
Has anyone done any work on stepping forward from SBS2000 in a 50+ user
environment and advise on CALs and the setup above. The reason why we choose
2 boxes is that we want to separate the PDC/Internet (Server03 running
ISA2004) machine from the Mailserver (running Exchange) in case of future
problems.
Are ISA2004 and Exchange2003 the latest proxy and mail software from
Microsoft or are there any changes that will appear soon?
I need advise please.

Group Policy software roll-out
Hi,
We are running SBS2000 with around 45 clients and we have a file server on
the domain running Win03 Server Std as a member server.
We are running ACT! and wish to roll-out a newer version. Previously, we
have gone around to all machines and run the install from a shared CD-ROM
drive on the network - but naturally this takes a lot of time.
We wish to install the software using Group Policy. Please can someone tell
me how I can do this so that I can pop the CD into the SBS and run the
install from all clients.

IS FSG corrupt, mailboxes OK. Restore question
HI
Yesterday our Exchange aware backup failed with an error saying the Mailbox
Infromation Store first storgae group is corrupt. Error 474 in Event viewer
too. The Mailboxes and Public Folders backed up OK.
The fix is to restore from backup. If I restore the IS from backup, will I
have to restore the mailboxes over the top too, to take into account mail
delivered in the past few days?
Thanks in advance

Help! Backup didn't run Exchange logs filled partition
Client moved their office in November and for one reason or another hasn't
run backup since 11/10/04. Prior to that an Exchange aware backup using
Tapeware was run daily without serious incident on the Dell Poweredge SBS
2000 sever for the last year and a half.
Today Exchange services stopped with the event log message that the Exchange
partition ( I setup a separate partition for Exchange when I setup the
server) had only 3 mb of space left.
I checked the MDBDATA folder and, as I expected, it was full of E00XXXX.log
files going back to 11/10/04 each of 5,120 kb size.
I tried running the backup to clear the logs but as the Exchange services
were stopped the backup ran fine, it just did not backup Exchange and thus,
apparently, did not clear the log files.
The question, I think, is how to clear up enough space on the Exchange
partition to mount the store to run the backup to clear the logfiles.
Is there a good way to do this? Or any good way to delete the logfiles? I
understand that it just brute force deleting them can be dangerous. Can they
be moved? I have space on my data partition to do this temporarily.
Thanks,

ISA server reports
I produce monthly ISA server reports for analysis. I'm aware of a problem
that ISA reverses
dates in non US-English system locales and have applied SP2 which I believe
fixes this problem.
My question is in the main summary report it has all the dates listed and
has server participation,
all our dates up to the first 12 days are reversed (US style mm/dd) and has
'no' for participation. All
the remaining dates are dd/mm format for our locale and have 'Yes' for
participation. Except of course
when the day and month are the same like 11/11, this is always yes.
This has always confused me as I read this as this monthly report does not
include the first 12 days
of data. This is same before and after the ISA SP2 patch was applied
(containing MS 331064)
Is this correct ?, and if so why didn't the patch fix this problem. Tag: StarTask.exe U O (command in Schedule tasks) Tag: 168711
backup email to a mail hosting company.
Does anyone know of a way I might be able to have my smtp mail
routed to 2 different mail locations?
Here is my scenario. I would like mail coming to our domain to be
sent to our ISP, as it currently is. This mail is retrievable by webmail.
I would also like a copy of all mail sent to our exchange server. The
exchange server would be what we use for normal mail operations. However, if
our exchange mail server goes down, we would like to be able to revert to
checking mail on our ISP's webmail server, _and_ we would like that there
would be a history of all mail received even before our exchange server
crashed.
You might be wondering why we might want such an elaborate fall back
mechanism. Our business operates with many very time sensitive deadlines.
Much of these deadlines revolve around emails. It would instill peace of
mind to be able to know that if our internal mail server was down for any
slightly lengthy period (fire, flood, hurricane), we would still have
immediate access to all mail, including mail we received in the weeks before
the failure.
Thanks,
Joe
/------- webmail / pop accounts (used only when main
server is down.)
email ------>
\----- exchange server (everyday use)
ps. I know exchange can be setup to forward emails to another account.
This solution alone is not good enough since when exchange is down we will
not be able to current receive external email. Tag: StarTask.exe U O (command in Schedule tasks) Tag: 168707
SBS 2000 Exchange/ISP Reply Address Problem
We are running a W2KSBS with Exchange using a ISP POP3 for external email.
The user logs onto the domain xxx.local. When they send external email it
goes out through the ISP however the reply address that is associated with
this external email is joe@xxx.com which is the FQDN but joe doesn't exist.
Some ISP's allow a second alias which allows us to enter this alias and
therefore get around the invalid email reply address issue.
This particular ISP doesn't allow two alias's so have to come up with a
different resolution.

No administrator console on SBS 2000, can I fix this faulty installation ?
Hi everybody,
we bought new server hardware this week, and had the company who sold
it to us install SBS 2000 (a licence we bought a few years ago) from
the installation media we provided (actually, the SBS 2000 Upgrade
DVD).
The server is now running in our network as the domain controller, but
it seems we didn't exactly get a full install of "Small Business
Server".
The imminent problem is that we cannot use our "SBS 2000 5 Client"
addon disk on it, so 5 of our colleagues are left with no workstation.
Looking into the problem, I found out there is no SBS Administrator
Console in the start menu, and the file "itprosbsconsole.msc" does not
even exist on the harddisk.
By searching the web I figured out that company who did the install
probably didn't install the whole thing, so the server isn't actually
running as a "Small Business Server 2000", but rather as a Windows
2000 Server, for which we have no addon licences.
Now to fix this problem quickly, I tried to install the consoles
myself to the running system. When I pop in the DVD (the actual CD1 is
not readable anymore), and run "setup.exe" from the CD1 folder, the
setup starts and asks me to insert a "Backoffice 4.0 or 4.5" CD1 (of
course, because the SBS 2000 is an upgrade version). So, I out in the
4.5 CD1 and now I get the error message (roughly translated): "You
cannot upgrade this install of Windows with the CD you inserted."
So, I cannot install the Administrator console.
What I would like to know, is what possibilities am I left with here:
- Do I need a full reinstall from scratch?
- If so, is it possible to install the SBS 2000 Server from the DVD,
or do I need to use the CDs (what is the difference)
- As a full reinstall is a time problem, is there a way to get working
addon licenses to this SBS 2000 "mutation" I am running now, for a
quick fix?
- Will I run into any other problems with this faulty install I might
not be aware of?
Thank you in advance!

Migration problems
I'm in the middle of migrating from SBS2000 to standard 2003 products.
Have installed the new server, ran DCPROMO,moved the FSMO all except domain
naming master, think I have to seize that role.
My big problem is Exchange, have moved the mailboxes with system manager to
the new server. Then I'm going to "Remove the first Exchange 2000 server"
from the site. But that doesn't work . I can see the SBS server from
Exchange 2003 system manger, but the SBS Exchange doesn't see the new
server. When I try to rehome public, OAB etc it fails.

CAL questions
From MS' licensing site:
"... You can either purchase a CAL for every device (used by any user) that
accesses your server, or purchase a CAL for every named user that accesses
your servers (from any device). Devices include not only desktop workstations
in your office but also mobile phones that have Internet access, handheld
PCs, and remote workstations. Whichever type of CAL you choose, a separate
Windows Small Business Server 2003 CAL (of either type) is required for each
user or device that accesses or uses the server software on any of your
servers."
Does this mean that someone who has email being copied/forwarded from their
company account to a Blackberry needs a CAL for the Blackberry? I'm not sure
if an automatic forward counts as another device, especially since it's going
to the blackberry servers. I would compare it to auto-forwarding to a yahoo
mail account, except that the blackberry does synch up with Outlook.
Also, I know that servers need CALs for SBS, but what determines that? If I
have a separate web server, do I need a CAL for it? As far as I can see,
traffic will be going through the firewall to the web server (have yet to put
it in a DMZ) and bypassing the SBS server altogher.
"Device CALs might make most economic and administrative sense for an
organization that has multiple users for one device, such as shift workers.
User CALs might make most sense for an organization that has many roaming
employees who access the corporate network from unknown devices and/or
employees who access the network through multiple devices."
OK this makes it seem that user CALs are what we need. However, how does SBS
handle the same account connecting from multiple computers? There are a
couple of people who use about six different machines for video editing, and
they log on with the one account to all those machine.
"The number of Windows Small Business Server 2003 CALs required equals the
maximum number of users or devices that may simultaneously access or use the
server software installed on a particular server. The Windows Small Business
Server 2003 CALs that you purchase are designated for use exclusively with a
particular server.
You have the right to switch one time to the other license typeâ??from user
CALs to device CALs or from device CALs to user CALs. Your Windows Small
Business Server 2003 CALs (of either type) would then be used in the other
mode instead." Tag: StarTask.exe U O (command in Schedule tasks) Tag: 168671

delayed email...
Recenlty one of my uses came ot me and mentioned that one of the people she
has attempted to reply back to (using "reply") was not getting her email -
and that she had not received an NDR as of yet.
I checked the Exchange System Management - queue and indeed there was the
email waiting to be delivered... The email sat in there for a few days,
retrying, waiting to be delivered and then finally after a few days our
employee did get an NDR back.
She asked me why this was happening (why she hadn;t received an NDR right
away) and I mentioned that there could be any number of reasons and rhymed
off a couple that I thought may cause it... SHe had received a couple of
delayed notices and then finally the NDR came in...
What reasons could there be that a seemingly valid email address could not
be devlivered? I had mentioned to our employee that it was possible that the
receipients server was not allowing incoming emails (the recipient works for
the government) and yet this person had asked our employee to respond back
to her initial email - so I would think that this person would have been
able to receive email in the past...
What other reasons could there be? I am just concerned that it may have been
an issue at our end but doubt that as once it leaves here, it's out of our
control really, and all other external email has been working just fine...

Invest $6.00 and make Thousands. Incredible? Check it out.
!!!Make A LOT of legal money really fast using PayPal!!!!
From: Roger Date: 12/4/2004
Comments: TURN $6 INTO $6000 USING PAYPAL (www.paypal.com)!!! READING THIS
COULD CHANGE YOUR LIFE! IT REALLY DOES WORK!.
I found this on a bulletin board and decided to try it. A little while back,
I was browsing through newsgroups, and came across an article similar to
this that said you could make thousands of dollars within weeks with only an
initial investment of $6.00! So I thought, Yeah right, this must be a scam,
but like most of us, I was curious, so I kept reading. Anyway, it said that
you send $1.00 to each of the 6 names and addresses (now e-mail addresses)
stated in the article. You then place your own name and PayPal's e-mail
address at the bottom of the list at #6. Post the article (with your name in
the #6 spot in at least 200 newsgroups. (There are thousands). No catch,
that was it. So after thinking it over, and talking to a few people first, I
thought about trying it. I figured: what have I got to lose except
$6.00,right? Then I invested the measly $6.00. Well, GUESS WHAT!? Within 1
day, I started getting money in my PayPal's account! I was shocked! I
figured it would end soon, but the money just kept coming in. In my first
week, I made about $30.00. By the end of the second week, I had made a total
of over $240.00! In the third week, I had over $3,000 and it's still
growing. This is now my fourth week, and I have made a total of just over
$7,000 and it's still coming in rapidly. It's certainly worth $6.00! I have
spent more than that on lunch!! Let me tell you how this works and most
importantly, WHY it works...Also, make sure you print a copy of this article
NOW, so you can get the information off of it as you need it. I promise you
that if you follow the directions exactly, that you will start making more
money than you thought possible by doing something so easy!
Suggestion: READ THIS ENTIRE MESSAGE CARE-FULLY !! Print it out or download
it. Follow the simple directions, and watch the money come in! It's easy.
It's legal. And, your investment is only $6.00. IMPORTANT: This is not a
rip-off; it is not indecent; it is not illegal; and, it's 99% risk-free.
Best of all-- it really works! If all of the following instructions are
adhered to, you will receive extraordinary dividends. PLEASE NOTE: Please
follow these directions EXACTLY, and $20,000 or more can be yours in 20 to
60 days
PLEASE CONTINUE ITS SUCCESS BY CAREFULLY ADHERING TO THE INSTRUCTIONS. .
This program remains successful because of the honesty and integrity of the
participants. You will now become part of the Mail Order business. In this
business, your product is not solid and tangible, it's a service. You are in
the business of developing Mailing Lists. Many large corporations are happy
to pay big bucks for quality lists. However, the money made from the mailing
lists is secondary to the income which is made from people like you and me
asking to be included in that list. Here are the easy steps to success:
Following is a list of six emails registered at PayPal. Send $1.00 to EACH
OF THEM using your PayPal\'ae account. What you are doing is creating a
service. THIS IS ABSOLUTELY LEGAL! You are requesting a legitimate service
and you are paying for it! Like most of us I was a little skeptical and a
little worried about the legal aspects of it all. So I checked it out with a
lawyer and they confirmed that this is indeed legal. SEND $1.00 TO EACH OF
THE FOLLOWING EMAILS using your PayPal\'ae account:
1: Kobragt500@aol.com;
2: pattistreasures@aol.com;
3: Lenny8971@aol.com;
4: chrlwoods8@aol.com; 5: karelvandenberghe@hotmail.com.
6:rogeremp@yahoo.ca.
Now delete the #1 email off the list that you see above and move the other
names up (6 becomes 5, 5 becomes 4,etc.) and add YOUR email as #6 on the
list. Change anything you need to, but try to keep this article as close to
original as possible. Now send this to all your friends. DO NOT SPAM! Keep a
copy of these steps for yourself and, whenever you need money, you can use
it again, and again. PLEASE REMEMBER that this program remains successful
because of the honesty and integrity of the participants and by their
carefully adhering to the directions. Look at it this way if you are of
integrity and honesty, the program will continue and the money that so many
others have received will come your way. NOTE: You may want to retain every
name and address sent to you, either on a computer or hard copy and keep the
notes people send you. This VERIFIES that you are truly providing a service.
So, as each post is downloaded and the directions carefully followed, six
members will be reimbursed for their participation as a List Developer with
one dollar each. Your name will move up the list so that when your name
reaches the #1 position you will be receiving thousands of dollars in
CASH!!! What an opportunity for only $6.00 - $1.00 for each of the first six
people listed above! Send it now, add your own name to the list and you're
in business!
DIRECTIONS FOR HOW TO POST TO NEWSGROUPS --
Step 1) FIRST make sure it is not a TOS violation to post this message.You
do not need to re-type this entire letter to do your own posting. Simply put
your cursor at the beginning of this letter and drag your cursor to the
bottom of this document, and select 'copy' from the edit menu. This will
copy the entire letter into the computer's memory.
Step 2) Open a blank 'notepad' file and place your cursor at the top of the
blank page. From the 'edit' menu select 'paste'. This will paste a copy of
the letter into notepad so that you can add your name to the list.
Step 3) Save your new notepad file as a .txt file. If you want to do your
postings in different settings, you'll always have this file to go back to.
Step 4) Use Netscape or Internet Explorer and try searching for various
newsgroups (on-line forums, message boards, chatsites, discussions.) Step 5)
Visit these message boards and post this article as a new message by
highlighting the text of this letter and selecting paste from the edit menu.
Fill in the \lquote Subject\rquote ; this will be the header that everyone
sees as they scroll through the list of postings in a particular group; then
click the post message button. You're done with your first one!
Congratulations!!! THAT'S IT! All you have to do is jump to different
newsgroups and post away, after you get the hang of it, it will take about
30 seconds for each newsgroup! **REMEMBER, THE MORE NEWSGROUPS YOU POST IN,
THE MORE MONEY YOU WILL MAKE! BUT YOU HAVE TO POST A MINIMUM OF 200** That's
it! You will begin receiving money from around the world within days,
perhaps even hours! If you wish to stay anonymous, you can create a separate
e-mail account just for this business using free e-mail services like
\lquote Hotmail.\rquote (You must add this e-mail account to your PayPal\'ae
account. You can have up to eight e-mail accounts on your PayPal\'ae
account). Now, each of the 5 persons who just sent me $1.00 make the MINIMUM
200 postings, each with my name at #5 and only 5 persons respond to each of
the original 5,that is another $25.00 for me, now those 25 each make 200
MINIMUM posts with my name at #4 and only 5 replies each, I will bring in an
additional $125.00! Now, those 125 persons turn around and post the MINIMUM
200 with my name at #3 and only receive 5 replies each, I will make an
additional $625.00! OK, now here is the fun part, each of those 625 persons
post a MINIMUM 200 letters with my name at #2 and they each only receive 5
replies, that just made me $3,125.00!!! Those 3,125 persons will all deliver
this message to 200 newsgroups with my name at #1 and if still 5 persons per
200 newsgroups react I will receive $15,625,00! With an original investment
of only $6.00! AMAZING! When your name is no longer on the list, you just
take the latest posting in the newsgroups, and send out another $6.00 to
names on the list, putting your name at number 6 again. And start posting
again. The thing to remember is: do you realize that thousands of people all
over the world are joining the Internet and reading these articles everyday?
JUST LIKE YOU are now!! So, can you afford $6.00 and see if it really
works?? I think so... People have said, what if the plan is played out and
no one sends you the money? So what! What are the chances of that happening
when there are tons of new honest users and new honest people who are
joining the internet and newsgroups everyday and are willing to give it a
try? Estimates are at 20,000 to 50,000 new users, every day, with thousands
of those joining the actual Internet. Remember, play FAIRLY and HONESTLY and
this will really work. WHAT GOES AROUND, COMES AROUND!!! GOD BLESS YOU!
P.S. Once you have set up your PayPal (www.paypal.com) account you can get a
PayPal/MasterCard for INSTANT access to your money, or link your PayPal\'ae
account to your personal bank account for easy transfers! Tag: StarTask.exe U O (command in Schedule tasks) Tag: 168615

Microsoft SUS..
Since patch management is becoming more and more of a headache all the time,
I am looking at SUS. I have a couple questions...
1) I've heard this is a free tool. Is this the case?
2) Has anyone here loaded it and does it work well? We have Win98 and XP
clients and Win2K/WIn2K3 servers
3) Are there any pitfalls to look out for - i.e. should I wait until MS has
released the new version they are wrking on (ver 2.0)
Thanks,

Outlook02 and XP Pro
Hi,
We are running SBS2000 on a LAN with 60% Win2K Pro with Outlook2002 client
and the rest run Win XP Pro with Outlook 2002 client.
What I have noticed is that when users view their Exchange Mailbox on the XP
Pro machines using Outlook 2002 client, they need to click around the folders
(e.g. Sent Items) in folder view to refresh their Inbox, otherwise any new
emails would not appear in their Inbox automatically. If you hit
Send/Receive it makes no difference at all.
Is this a known problem? Please let me know on how to fix.

SBS2K with MIS 2002?
Hi all,
Think I may already know the answer but thought I'd check it out first...
I know that MIS2002 isn't supported for installation on the same box as
SBS2K [and that MIS has been superceded with Exchange 2003 which has the
functionality built-in] but am wondering if this is one of those situations
whereby it would work but was just not the prefered solution. IE it was
recommended not to be set-up that way but that it could be made to work...
We're going to be moving onto SBS2K3 sometime in 2005 but this is something
that would be enormously handy for some of our users to have now. I know
they can simply ActiveSync from their PC/laptop to their Smartphones but I'd
prefer them to be able to do some while out and about in real-time...
If not, fair enough [and I suspect this will be the case, before anyone
flames me!] and will use it as a lever to speed up the upgrade to 2K3... :-)
Cheers,
David Tag: StarTask.exe U O (command in Schedule tasks) Tag: 168601

Software could slow spread of computer worms
Engineers at Hewlett-Packard Co. are working
on "virus throttling" software that could slow
the spread of viruses and worms, possibly limiting
the destruction that hackers inflict on millions
of computers each year. Researchers for the Palo
Alto, Calif.-based computer giant said Tuesday
the new software wouldn't destroy threats such
as the "Blaster" Internet worm, which crippled
more than a million computers last summer.

Fear fuels intrusion prevention sales bonanza
The growing threat posed by worms, viruses and
denial-of-service attacks is fuelling a global
sales bonanza in network intrusion prevention
system (IPS) products, according to In-Stat/MDR.
As a result, the combined market for IPS and
intrusion detection system equipment is poised
to reach $1.4bn by 2008, up from $541m in 2003,
the research firm said. Most of the revenue
growth is expected to be through hardware-
based network IPS appliances.

netmodem problem
I had an XP machine using netmodem conneting to a server(SBS2000). Sometime
around installing XP service pack 2, this connection failed (I'm not
positive it's related). I've uninstalled and re-installed net modem several
times including removing all shared ports and starting over. Following the
instructions in "How to set up a Windows XP Professional client in an SBS

etiquette, and alternate sources of useful information.
Following them will help us to help you.
===================================================
- Post to the appropriate newsgroup:

The SBS Newsgroups provide a free forum for threaded discussion
and peer support on issues related to Small Business Server by

===================================================
- Post with a meaningful subject line so those with expertise or
interest in the topic can find it quickly. - Posting with a purely
attention seeking topic such as "DISASTER" or "No-One Ever Responds
to Me" may get you noticed -once- but is likely to get you ignored
or dropped in future. Remember -everyone's- issue is important to
them, so que jumping won't enhance anyone's opinion of you within
the newsgroup.
Mentioning the SBS component, Exchange, ISA, SQL Server, RAS, Pop
Connector etc.in the heading will be a big help in catching the eye
of experts in that field.
===================================================
- If posting a Question, post with sufficient information for a complete
stranger to understand your SBS version, environment; your issue, what
you have tried and what failed. You're not cutting down on the typing
as you'll be asked anyway, and it can only enhance the speed to
diagnosis and resolution.
A secondary benefit to this is that in correctly framing the question,
the resolution often presents itself.
Note:
Stating your SBS version ( 4, 4.5, 2000, 2003 ) is particularly
important as is whether your SBS 2003 is Standard or Premium and whether
you have ISA installed.
Please state all messages and IDs in failure notices and/or in the event
viewers. Also what may have been installed/changed/updated prior to or
during the issue.
===================================================
- Posting In capitals on is considered SHOUTING! ...Please don't.
===================================================
- Don't overlook or discount Paid Support.
If the Issue is urgent or complex, the time you spend searching for a
"free" solution. ...and cost factors such as Worker Downtime, Customer
Irritation, Lost Productivity, and Hair Replacement costs will likely
far outweigh the cost of a Support Call to Microsoft PSS (Product
Support Services ) or a Support Professional.
Note: Hotfixes are free of charge. Just ask for the specific Hotfix.
===================================================
- It's difficult to convey human emotions on Usenet (Humour, Pathos,
Sarcasm, Tongue-In-Cheek ) so use of emoticons and/or acronym tags is
advised.
.... and no; you -don't- have to be serious all the time. It's a
community. Enjoy !
===================================================
- There are many paths to a solution and as many experiences in getting
there as there are posters. Sometimes the paths are well worn, tried and
true. Sometimes paths diverge, sometimes converge, and sometimes new
trails are blazed. Understand and respect that, and use what suits you
and your situation.
===================================================
- People are different, but people are people. You should be nice to
them.
This is a technical newsgroup and not a place for Egos or Flame Wars.
As a community we try to leave them at the door and respect each other.
What you post here is archived and available to anyone, anytime.
Remember ...."Please don't feed the Trolls!"

- Don't be shy to post a Question ....or an Answer.
SBS encompasses a lot and has been known to make even corporate
SysAdmins Cringe and MCSEs cry. None of us knows -all- the answers.
We were all "Newbies" once and none of us has experience with every
permutation, combination, setup and environment SBS is deployed in,
so there are -no- stupid or dumb questions. That's the domain of
answers that imply that there are.
If you're asking a question and know the answer to another one on the
page, muck in and post it. The poster may get a faster resolution than
they would have, and an additional member may get a response
they wouldn't have otherwise

- What goes around, comes around.-
===================================================
- It's not only Break/Fix. Anecdotes, Wishlists, Insights and Brickbats
are all grist to the mill of SBS Topics and all on-topic for the
community.
===================================================
- Don't Multi-post*. ( *the Same Posting within different newsgroups
or within the same thread.)
If you must post to several newsgroups, Cross-post to just the relevant
ones. A response in one will then show up in the others and all can
follow the thread.
===================================================
- Be patient.
Newsgroups are not Instant Messaging, and people aren't on-line just
waiting for you to post. If the situation -is- that urgent, then
Paid Support will pay for itself.
Remember: No-one -owes- you a response.
===================================================
- Things get missed.
Things do get lost or missed, or someone with the appropriate skills
or experience may not be available, so if you haven't had a response
after 3 Days or so, post again, perhaps with more detail and things
you've tried in the interim.
============================================
- Lastly, -enjoy - and remember, SBS Rocks !

Exchange Folders
Where can i find folders regarding messages sent, received, outgoing.......
Can i delete an outgoing message once exchange-server is waiting to send
messages 'cause a DSL problem?
Thanks Silvano. Tag: StarTask.exe U O (command in Schedule tasks) Tag: 168564
Exchange Migration
Upgrading a SBS2K to SBS 2003. I backed up all the data and did a NT BAckup
of the exchange database. Let's say I experience exchange problems after the
upgrade, will I have to isntall SBS2K again to get the email working? Just
trying to plan ahead here, hopefully everything goes as planned but it seems
if there were migration problems I would be using exchange 2003 with a
NTBackup of exchange 2000. This is my first SBS2K - SBS 2003 migration, just
trying to plan as best as possible. Thoughts, suggestions, experiences are
all welcome - thanks in advance. Tag: StarTask.exe U O (command in Schedule tasks) Tag: 168563
We have found this command "Startaks.exe U O" running as a scheduled task on
a Windows 2000 SBS, Q:- Anyone know what it is/does?
